    15: It’s Not Just a Bad Period | Living with Endometriosis with Producer Caroline

    This week it's all about Producer Caroline and she's delighted... kinda! She and Claire discuss her appointment with Astrologer Andrew Smith, which was exciting and her appointment with Pelvic Physio and former guest Lizzie McEneaney, NOT exciting per se, BUT so helpful! They also dive back into procrastination briefly, thanks to a listener question.  💫 Astrologer Andrew Smith  ✍️ Bella Mackie on How to Fail🌿 Viridian High Potency Magnesium Caroline has suffered from endometriosis for most of her life. It's a chronic medical condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus, most commonly in the pelvis on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. On this episode she shares her experience of managing chronic pain, the symptoms to look out for if you, or someone you know, thinks they may have it and the impact that unprocessed trauma can have on the body. Claire and Caroline also chat about a 'pain to do list' and how to help our loved ones to support us when we are unable to help ourselves.  Endometriosis support and resources🪷 Eithne Kennedy Kinesiologist🍃 Christine McGuinness 🕯️ Cosy Yin Yoga Practice📖 RTE Study on Delayed Diagnosis of Endo💡National Framework for The Management of Endometriosis💛 Frendo App 🫂 Endora App🔍 OvaScan In Stillorgan🩺 Dr. Anthony Rafferty - Medical Intuitive & Shaman Do you have an Endo friendly medical or holistic practitioner that you would like to recommend?

    14: The Power of Hope | Prioritise Pleasure & Stop Normalising Pain with Pelvic Physio Lizzie McEneaney

    Claire and Producer Caroline reflect on their dating workshop and what they took away. Claire meets a glimmer man in South West London, while Caroline has booked to see one of the world's best astrologers in Co. Wicklow.  Pelvic Physiotherapist, Lizzie McEneaney, has a wealth of knowledge on issues that many women suffer from but may be afraid to speak about. From pregnancy and birth recovery to incontinence and sexual health, from trauma to athletic performance, her job is to restore function where it matters most, at the core of how someone moves, feels, and lives in their body. Lizzie ensures that she creates safe spaces where patients can speak freely, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim control. But beyond treatment plans and techniques, her main goal is female empowerment. She educates, validates, and challenges outdated narratives around pain and shame. Lizzie helps people return to sport, intimacy, work and daily life with strength and self-trust.
